Garbage-Truck-Like Machine Takes Stink Out of Winnipeg Trash Bins

A couple of Winnipeggers who built a machine to combat stinky trash bins will demo the sanitation-creation for city officials next week.

Wayne Bennett, who hails from England where back-lane garbage carts are sanitized, said it struck him as odd that it wasn’t common in Canada.

“It’s something that’s kind of in a grey area, it’s not the city’s responsibility… it’s not the responsibility of the waste management company, it’s not something residents are doing themselves,” he said. “But it’s a dirty job—the bins are full of bacteria, they absolutely stink, they’re gross.”
